How different advertising appeals (green vs. non-green) impact consumers' willingness to pay a premium for green agricultural products

Value delivery in green consumption: the effect of advertisement value proposition on consumer perception and purchase intention

Amid the expanding green consumer market, companies are increasingly emphasizing their eco-friendly contributions in advertising. This study delves into the value delivery process within green consumption, guided by the service-dominant logic (S-D logic). A survey-based experiment with 589 responses reveals that the information frame in advertising significantly impacts consumer value perceptions and purchase intentions. Notably, the temporal frame of advertising plays a pivotal role, influencing consumers' value perceptions. Future framing enhances emotional value perceptions, while past framing promotes environmental value perceptions. This research enhances our understanding of value delivery mechanisms in green consumption and holds valuable implications for marketers of sustainable products.

Are non-competitors greener? The effect of consumer awareness differences on green food consumption

Introduction

Green consumption plays a crucial role in mitigating environmental degradation. Governments and corporations are actively fostering the growth of green consumption. The escalating environmental issues have awakened consumers' environmental and competitive awareness, which significantly aids in increasing the probability of green food consumption.

Methods

This study, based on the Self-Consistency Theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior, constructs a model to analyze the effects of consumer competitive and environmental awareness on green food purchase intentions. Data from 700 consumer surveys were examined through structural equation modeling.

Results

Findings indicate that while consumer competitive awareness negatively impacts green self-efficacy and perceived control, environmental awareness has a positive effect. Green self-efficacy and perceived control both positively influence green food purchase intentions. Notably, competitive awareness has a more substantial negative impact on perceived control compared to green self-efficacy. In contrast, the positive influence of environmental awareness on green self-efficacy is stronger than on perceived control. Moreover, the effect of green self-efficacy on green food purchase intention is more pronounced than that of perceived control.

Discussion

Strategies like enhancing media publicity, educational initiatives, and improving purchase convenience can increase consumer purchase intentions. This study offers valuable insights for governments and businesses in understanding consumer psychology in green food consumption, aiding in marketing strategies for green food products.

The impact of anchor characteristics on consumers' willingness to pay a premium for food-an empirical study

In the food industry space, Netflix foods have exploded onto the Internet on the back of social media and many consumers are paying a premium for them. So what are the motives that may inspire consumers' willingness to pay premium? In this paper, from the perspective of anchor, an external cue, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 275 respondents and analyzed using SPSS software. The results show that anchor characteristics (interactivity, professionalism and popularity) can influence consumers' perceived value and increase their premium purchase intention. Perceived value mediates the relationship between anchor characteristics and willingness to pay a premium. Limited-time limited-quantity positively moderated the relationship between perceived value and premium purchase intention. The results reveal the key role of anchors in consumers' decision-making process of buying Netflix food at a premium, and provide a theoretical basis for enterprises to select and cultivate anchors for product promotion.

Attribute-Driven or Green-Driven: The Impact of Subjective and Objective Knowledge on Sustainable Tea Consumption

The market for green agricultural products has tremendous growth potential as the pressure on resources and the environment increases and the safety of agricultural products is garnering attention. The demand for green food (tea) is also rising as tea is among the top three beverages consumed worldwide. The study attempts to propose a model of the relationship between green food (tea) customers' product knowledge, perceived product quality, trust, purchase intention, and purchase behaviour. In addition, we will provide an analysis of the role played by age, education, income, gender, etc. The study included 700 questionnaires on green food (tea) consumers that were collected through the Credemo questionnaire platform, and data analysis was carried out using the SmartPLS software to assess the model of product knowledge on green food (tea) consumption behaviour. The findings demonstrate that, concerning differences in age, education, income, and gender; product knowledge-including attribute knowledge and green knowledge-has a positive impact on perceived product quality and trust; perceived product quality has a positive impact on trust; perceived product quality and trust have a positive impact on purchase intention; and purchase intention has a positive impact on purchase behavior.
